Salesforce Field Level Security

Field level security in salesforce controls whether a user can see, edit or delete the value for a particular field on an object, unlike page layouts which only control the visibility of the field on detail and edit pages of an object. It secures the visibility of fields in any part of the app including related lists, list views, reports, and search results.

Field level security can be applied to multiple fields on a single profile or permission set and can also be applied to a single field on all profiles.

Let us now look at Record Level Security.
